I'm Italian; I take my time. We're not really fast. We're very slow. I had my first child at 40, my second child at 45, James Bond at 50. I'm so curious as to what's next!
I always wanted children late; I had my first daughter at 39 and the second at 45.
Paul McCartney had a baby when he was 61; Rod Stewart was 66; Rupert Murdoch was a stunning 72. Not only does that mean they'll have less stamina than the average dad, that means they'll, well, check out a lot sooner too.
I don't buy the 'at 60 it's great to have kids' thing. I don't buy the line that has been thrown down - 'You can have a kid at any time.' That doesn't mean you should.
I had kids at age 47, and very late in life, and I'd been doing it for 30 straight years, writing songs, making a record and touring and starting the process right over.
I feel lucky that I had my children late. Not that I would advise it in any shape or form. But I know friends who had children when they were young, struggled with feeling trapped. I can honestly say I've never once resented the fact that I couldn't go out because of my kids.
I had the opportunity to be around my kids a lot. I guess I could have kept working, but I had them when I was 47. You only get to see all this stuff once. I just chose to work at home and watch them.
I had babies at the age of 43 because sometimes you get so caught up, you are making your life, building your career and may be you don't want to get married.
If you get a child when you're 50, you'll understand what children are.
I was 36 when I had my first son, Thomas, and 39 when I had Hugo, my second.
In my family, people become pregnant at 33 or something, not 26.
I think if you are young and you have children, you still have so much to prove. When you have children later in life, you lose a bit of that urge for working.
But I never worried about having a child in my 40s, which is unusual - normally, I'm the queen of worry.
I'm 48 now and I would like to have another baby. I would love to because of all the things I have learned. It would be like starting all over again. But am I too old? I'm young at heart and I would be different this time round.
I was having my teens in my 30s.
My son was born somewhat late in my life and I just found myself really feeling like I didn't want to miss out on being a parent and being with him, and not wanting a situation where I was constantly pulled back and forth between being present, and having all these other pressures and considerations.
We're not meant to be parents when we're 50.
I think because I became a mom later in life, everything in life means more.
I think I'm going to pull a Charlie Chaplin and have kids when I'm 60.
Why not have your first baby at sixty, when your husband is already dead and your career is over? Then you can really devote yourself to it.
I'm still friends with the girls I grew up with, and they're all on their second child. They're all like, 'Don't be in your 40s by the time you have kids,' and I'm like, 'Why not? There's nothing wrong with that.'
I was lucky enough to meet someone when I was about 46 and had my first child when I was 48, so I got started late, but I also got all that other stuff out of the way and was at a point where I could be a consistent presence at home.
I don't think I was all that late in becoming a father.
Women are now very comfortable to have babies into their late 30s. You can be a father in your 50s. I'm not saying it's for everybody, and I think people have to get their own life secure before they take on the responsibility of a partner and children.
I didn't get round to having children until I was 35, and then I wasn't around very much.
